Chapter 979


    Jay strode forward with his long legs and was about t o leave.


    Angeline stood rooted to the spot in a daze.


    The expression on her dark face looked like that of an aggrieved and resentful woman. "Hey, aren''t


    you supposed to send me home after treating me to a meal? Wouldn''t it be dangerous for me to go


    back alone?"


    Jay''s tall and sturdy back stiffened. He then turned around and said, "Almighty Ms. Severe, you’re


    just like a high and mighty queen in Imperial Capital. Who would have the nerve to beard the lion in


    his den?”


    Angeline immediately put on a pitiful and helpless look like she was a littlemb. She shamelessly


    grabbed onto his sleeves with her tiny hands. "There are too many men who covet a peerless and


    natural beauty like me. My bodyguards will normally be by m y side, but none of them are around to


    protect me today. I''m scared to go back alone.”


    Jay''s lips twitched violently. "I''d believe you if you say that they covet your money. Unless the man


    is blind, who would covet you for your beauty?"


    Angeline was so furious that her hands balled up into fists where he could not see. She was dying


    to knock out this sharp-tongued man with her fists.


    The tears in Angeline''s eyes were gushing out like spring water. She was already a drama queen to


    start with. What was more, she knew this man’s weaknesses like the back of her hand.


    As long as she worked hard to show the weak side of her, his sympathy would start to overflow.


    When Jay saw her tearing up, however, instead of sympathizing with her, he looked at her with


    disgust." Are your tears worthless?"


    Angeline,"..."


    "Why don’t I go to your ce for a sleepover?" Angeline suggested.

    She just refused to be separated from him.


    Jay looked miserable and in distress. "Are you a bandaid?"


    Angeline shook her head while smiling. "You can take off a band-aid after sticking it on. I don’t want


    to get pulled off after I stick onto you."


    Jay,


    "Shameless."


    Angeline looked at him with a pair of sad eyes. "Please have pity on a weak and helplessdy like


    me."


    Jay said helplessly, "Okay, I’ll take you home."


    Angeline broke out in a grin. "Mm." She nodded cheerfully.


    Both of them walked side by side on the long sidewalk.


    Angeline mischievously hooked her fingers with his. A s though he was struck by lightning, Jay


    retracted his hand and red viciously at her.


    After she did something wrong, she turned her gaze elsewhere.


    After ring helplessly at her a few times, Jay had no choice but to let the matter drop.


    Then, in an even more daring attempt, she tried to take his arm.


    Jay jumped ten feet away and snapped. "Please have some respect for yourself, Ms. Severe."


    Like a kid who had done something wrong, Angeline nodded obediently. "Okay."


    She then walked up to him. This time, she behaved herself. When she spoke, a hint of timidity was


    detected in her voice. "Brother Ben, have you heard of the saying ''When one is fed and warmed,


    one''s sexual desires will arouse''?"


    Jay was beyond speechless.


    "Why did I even agree to take you home?"


    Angeline replied softly, "Because I''m adorable and easy to fall for."


    Jay let out a long sigh.


    His noble and elegant face was filled with deep resentment as he stared at Angeline. "Do you often


    talk to men in such a licentious manner?"


    Angelinas smile froze on her face in an instant. She corrected him in a very serious tone. "No, I


    speak like a ruthless exterminator in front of other men. It’s only when I''m in front of you that I will


    reveal my true nature."


    Jay was slightly stunned... For some reason, he did not find her licentious and unconventional


    behavior that irritating anymore.


    The sky gradually turned dark.


    The long sidewalk was seemingly endless.


    Jay suddenly stopped walking and stared furiously at her. "Your house, where exactly is it?"


    Angeline looked at the unfamiliar scenery ahead and wore a slightly dumbfounded look on her face.


    "I think we went the wrong way."


    Jay felt like he was having an emotional breakdown." We’ve been walking for so long and you''re


    just telling me that we went the wrong way? What were you doing just now?"
